Sally Kane, CEO of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters, started in community radio at KVNF, a rural service network established in Paonia, Colorado in 1979. Her mother helped found the station and served as it's first Board President. Sally grew up on a farm with community radio as a staple of her family's diet. During high school she volunteered as a DJ and hosted an interview show. After 17 years, she returned to her hometown, eventually becoming KVNF’s Executive Director, for the decade between 2003 and 2013. She has led the NFCB since January 2014.
